===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYE EFFECTS: IN CASE OF FIRE OR CELL
RUPTURE, BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS EXTREMELY CORROSIVE TO EYE TISSUES.
MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT BLINDNESS. CONTACT WITH NICKEL OXIDE MAY
CAUSE MINOR IRRITATION. SKIN EFFECTS: CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS TO SKIN TISSUES. CONTACT WITH NICKEL COMPOUNDS
MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION, CHRONIC ECZEMA, NICKEL ITCH.
INGESTION: ELECTROLYTE CAUSES TISSU E DAMAGE TO THROAT AND GASTRO
/ RESPIRATORY TRACT. INGESTION OF NICKEL COMPOUND CAUSES NAUSEA AND
INTESTINAL DISORDERS. INHALATION: NO EXPOSURE POSSIBLE EXCEPT FOR
FIRE OR ABUSE. EFFECTS OF CADMIUM A ND/OR (CONTD. SEE
"TOXICOLOGICAL")
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL AND CADMIUM AND THEIR COMPOUNDS
ARE LISTED AS CARCINOGENS OR POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS BY NTP, IARC AND
OSHA. NIOSH RECOMMENDS THAT NICKEL AND CADMIUM BE TREATED AS
OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:EYES: CORROSION OF EYE TISSUES, PERMANENT
BLINDNESS. NICKEL OXIDE: MINOR IRRITATION. SKIN EFFECTS: SKIN
BURNS. NICKEL COMPOUNDS: SKIN SENSITIZATION, CHRONIC ECZEMA, NICKEL
ITCH. INGESTION:TISSUE DAMAG E TO THROAT AND GASTRO / RESPIRATORY
TRACT. NICKEL COMPOUND: NAUSEA, INTESTINAL DISORDERS. INHALATION:
CADMIUM AND/OR NICKEL COMPOUNDS: MILD IRRITATION OF NASAL MUCOUS
MEMBRANES TO DAMAGE OF LUNG TISS UES. CADMIUM OXIDE: DRY THROAT,
COUGH, HEADACHE, VOMITING, CHEST PAIN, AND CHILLS. CHRONIC
OVEREXPOSURE TO CADMIUM COMPOUNDS: PULMONARY EDEMA, BREATHING
DIFFICULTY, PROSTRATION, KIDNEY DAMAGE.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:ELECTROLYTE: EYE CONTACT: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES IF
SAFETY VENTS ACTIVATE. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN CONTACT: REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. FLUSH AFFECTED AREAS WITH WATER FOR 15
MINUTES. WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE
VOMITING. DILUTE BY GIVING WATER. IF AVAILABLE GIVE SEVERAL GLASSES
OF MILK. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. DO NOT GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN
UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR. GIVE OXYGEN OR
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION IF NEEDED. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:CO2, SAND.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO
AVOID BREATHING TOXIC FUMES. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
TO PREVENT POTENTIAL BODY CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION OR
MIXTURE OF WATER AND SOLUTI ON.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ELECTROLYTE IS CORROSIVE TO HUMAN
TISSUES. REACTS VIOLENTY WITH ORGANIC CHEMICALS, ESPECIALLY
NITROCARBONS AND CHLOROCARBONS. ELECTROLYTE REACTS WITH ZINC,
ALUMINUM, TIN, ACITVE MATERIALS RELEASING F LAMMABLE HYDROGEN.
CADMIUM FUMES MAY BE RELEASED AT HIGH TEMPERATURES. IN CASE OF
FIRE, DO NOT BREATHE SMOKE AND FUMES.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:ELECTROYTE SPILL: FLUSH WITH WATER AND
NEUTRALIZE WITH DILUTE CITRIC ACID.
Neutralizing Agent:DILUTE CITRIC ACID.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:THESE CELLS AND THE BATTERIES
CONSTRUCTED FROM THEM MAY BE HIGHLY CHARGED AND ARE CAPABLE OF HIGH
ENERGY DISCHARGE. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO HANDLE CELLS PROPERLY TO
AVOID SHORTING OR MISUSE THAT WILL RESULT IN RAPID UNCONTROLLED
ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL OR HEAT ENERGY RELEASE.
Other Precautions:DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT, MAY CAUSE BURNS. DO NOT BREAK
OPEN CELL. DO NOT ALLOW AN EXPOSED FLAME OR SPARK TO COME NEAR THE
CELLS.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF CELL
BROKEN OPEN DURING A FIRE TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW THE TWA
FOR CADMIUM AND NICKEL COMPOUNDS.
Protective Gloves:WATER-INSOLUBLE NON-PERMEABLE (SYNTHETIC RUBBER).DO
NOT USE LEATHER OR WOOL.
Eye Protection:SPLASH GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD IF CELL ACTIVATES DUE TO
ABUSE.
Other Protective Equipment:RUBBER APRON OR EQUIVALENT IF EXPOSURE TO
ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION IS LIKELY.
Work Hygienic Practices:DO NOT USE LEATHER OR WOOL GLOVES.
